"I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way."

Ani DiFranco on Mom

More quotes about Mom

  • "My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."

    George Washington on Mom

  • "The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children."

    Jessica Lange on Mom

More quotes by Ani DiFranco

  • "I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess."

  • "Men make angry music and it's called rock-and-roll women include anger in their vocabulary and suddenly they're angry and militant."

  • "I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself, and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically, uh-uh. No."

  • "Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define."

  • "Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV."
